Project Discovery Tool ManagerGitHub pdtm is a simple and easy-to-use golang based tool for managing open source projects from ProjectDiscovery.

Security professionals are constantly on guard against cyber threats, especially given the rising number and sophistication of attacks. However, there’s a less obvious, yet increasingly alarming “enemy” in cybersecurity: the surge in reported Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). Though CVEs are vital for identifying and discussing vulnerabilities, their rapid increase and sometimes exaggerated severity can be misleading.

This “noise” in the CVE system poses a significant challenge. In security, where professionals must be vigilant at all times against adversaries seeking just one weak point, the distraction caused by an overwhelming number of CVEs can lead to misdirected efforts and overlooked critical vulnerabilities. In essence, while CVEs are intended to enhance security, their current state risks doing the opposite.
